Returning This Year! Posters in a Minute

In addition to the printed poster displayed throughout the conference, we are asking the main author to orally present a PDF version of their poster at the main podium in a one-minute summary we are calling “Posters in a Minute”. Our goals are to increase visibility of STA members’ research and to familiarize the audience with the author’s work so they can ask more questions during the traditional breaks with posters.

We have scheduled one “Posters in a Minute” session each day of the conference. Please make an effort to stand by your poster during the breaks on the day of your summary presentation so you can answer questions. There will not be time for questions during your podium presentation!
